It used to be that cleaning your home or property was one of the easiest ways to reinvigorate yourself. There’s nothing like a clean, uncluttered house, a garage you can actually park the car in and a yard that’s free of leaves, garbage and tree branches. The cleaning up was hard work, of course, but once everything was gathered, it could simply be hauled out to the curb and the next day it would magically disappear thanks to the city garbage collectors.

Those days are long gone. We still look forward to those cleaning rituals, the spring and fall housecleaning, and the first thing anyone does when they move into a new house or apartment is to completely clean it out, but disposing of the junk is far more complicated than it ever was. The environment is of far greater concern these days and with a new emphasis on keeping things out of the landfill, you simply can’t throw everything in the trash. And as the recycling movement progresses, the restrictions and requirements only get more complex —to the point where we now need to think about the environmental impact of electronics and other e-waste. With all the rules, regulations and goals, collecting and sorting the heaps of junk that turn up after a major cleaning almost require professional disposal.

In fact, the tightening restrictions on garbage disposal have indeed given rise to professional junk collection. This isn’t the same thing as the guys who used to cruise around in an old pickup truck, looking for yard work or offering to haul an old sofa to the landfill for a fee. Today there are professional junk collection firms that handle every aspect of removing and disposing of trash so that busy homeowners don’t have to. These modern junk service companies offer convenient online booking, timely appointments, clean cut crews and fleets of specialized collection trucks. When they arrive, they remove the junk, sweep up after, then take everything away for proper sorting and environmentally friendly disposal.
